When did you join Meepcraft? I joined back in 2012 (Not sure which month, but it was during the summer), I stopped playing and only played periodically. About seven months ago I started playing again.

Introduction: Hello, my name is Tony. I am an indie game developer, (I program in C++ if you were wondering). I live in Billings, Montana, this is a small town relative to most cities but the biggest in Montana. I love MeepCraft, all day I think about playing and helping people out at school. I am pretty good at architecture, (I am currently building for evilalec555 and LittleLocky). I am active in-game, but not as much on the forums, but I am trying to change that. Many times people have told me I am too generous. Many of you may know me as skibble0_. I own a town and love helping build their houses and getting them supplies.

Why should you be Helper? Typically I see in these forms that people say that they "love to help people". I do too, but that's not a way to completely say it. I love helping people to the point that sometimes I give away a lot of money, (I donated 200k to LegendaryMel to get a rank, she spent most of it buy is working on it). I also gave ~150k to a random person who said they wanted a town. My life isn't so great, but this server helps. It's friendly community is something rarely seen. I feel that by helping people out on MeepCraft, I feel a little better about myself. I often help people out by answering questions in chat, give them info about where to go and get supplies ect., and I sell stuff for cheap. I know you may read this and pass by it as if it is a typical form but please take the time to consider. I have many references, most people know who I am, (in-game at least), and can tell you that I am kind and caring. I have a really good understanding of the rules and guidelines. I have the time to help people thoroughly and I am on at very unusually late times. I am on when little to no staff is on. I feel that it might be helpful to have me on as staff at this time. Thanks for taking the time to read.

What are your weaknesses? I am too generous/nice (sometimes). I am a bad gambler.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I have a bearded dragon named Gandalf!

 

I've never really seen you on forums before. Also gambling isn't a weakness that would really affect you as a helper and generosity isn't a reason you should be helper. Work on your forums activity and if you get denied and re-apply work on your app a bit more. -1

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

How are being generous and gambling weaknesses?

Also, I've never seen you helping, your forum activity is poor, and I've seen no TS activity.

You're very, very immature ig, And tbh I find you annoying at times. Definitely not currently ready for staff.

Very Nice
Mature
And a Good Friend C:

 

Thank you!

 

-1, you seem very kind and you could possibly be a helper soon! I think it's a little early though, you should be more than just a "member" on forums. Try to establish yourself more online and in chat good luck!

 

+1 You are mature, I have seen you display an ability to help people out in your town and in /g you do a great job.

 

I love your signature!

 

I am working on it, if I get rejected I will re-apply when I have gained more popularity among the forms.

 

+1 I have only had good experiences with you and expect to have many more

 

I hope all the rest are good also!

 

Thanks for the feedback, I am on TS everyday, although I might be a little mute. It's true that sometimes I help people outside of global, but I can assure you that I still do. However, once again thanks for the constructive criticism, I now have some things to improve on.

 

Now, this application was below average. A normal 16-year-old would type much better than this, but eh, I'll let that one slide. Now lets break down this application and see what we've got...

I was here in 2012, and I honestly never saw your nametag while playing. (You may not have recognized me, but I have played since September 2012, I just have a name change.) Either you're lying, or you just viewed the server for a little while, quit for at least 1-2 years then came back.

I really, really liked this introduction. You introduced yourself to the people viewing this application ATM, and I'm really glad that you actually didn't say much about Minecraft, like "My friends showed me this game and I started playing" or "I came back from a long break, so hi there".

The only thing that made me look at this section and go "Why?" is because of the last sentence. You COULD'VE put that in the 'Extra Info' section, but eh. I also liked this part as well. You explained certain aspects on Why you should be helper and you put much detail into that. I appreciate that.

Now, this part is where most players confuse 'weaknesses' with 'pet peeves' or any in-game issues you have. You can be 'too' generous/nice as long as you need to, but don't be so gentle with rule breaking players, like saying "If I catch you again, I will temp-ban you" or something along those lines. Gambling basically died in this server, since /dice was taken away, but I never really see you gamble.
Don't actually edit this into your application just yet, but you could've added weaknesses that you knew about, like immaturity, activity, behavioral issues, etc.
Overall, this application was really great. You have potential!

Thank you for such a great and detailed response! First off, you are correct, back in 2012 I was skibble0_, I didn't ever communicate in global. I mostly just helped as co-mayor in a town. Also, I'd have to disagree with the gambling thing, since /dice is still a thing (I've made about 2 million from simplearchitect), and slots are still a very relevant thing. You're right though, I could have said more weaknesses than pet peeves. However, I would not ever turn a blind eye to illegal acts. Thanks, have a nice day!

 

+1
I'm not really bothered about the app.
Nice and helpful.

 

Thanks for the opinion, although I'd have to disagree on the immature thing.

 

Well put, thanks!

 

You asked me last night to go through you app, which I admire. Apologies for not doing it before.

There you go.

Not a super well done app and could have been done a lot better.

The rest of my vote is in a previous post.
